Under the current policies and compensation rules in South Korea, Photovoltaic (PV) generation supplier can maximize the profit by combining PV generation with Energy Storage System (ESS). However, the existing operational strategy of ESS is not able to maximize the profit due to the limitation of ESS capacity. In this paper, new ESS scheduling algorithm is introduced by utilizing the System Marginal Price (SMP) and PV generation forecasting to maximize the profits of PV generation supplier. The proposed algorithm determines the charging time of ESS by ranking the charging schedule from low to high SMP when PV generation is more than enough to charge ESS. The discharging time of ESS is determined by ranking the discharging schedule from high to low SMP when ESS energy is not enough to maintain the discharging. To compensate forecasting error, the algorithm is updated every hour to apply the up-to-date information. The simulation is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by using actual PV generation and ESS information.

In this study, 20.8% of a p-type Si bifacial solar cell was used to develop a photovoltaic (PV) module to obtain the maximum power under a limited installation area. The transparent back sheet material was replaced during fabrication with a white one, which is opaque in commercial products. This is very beneficial for the generation of more electricity, owing to the additional power generation via absorption of light from the rear side. A new model is suggested herein to predict the power of the bifacial PV module by considering the backside reflections from the roof and/or environment. This model considers not only the frontside reflection, but also the nonuniformity of the backside light sources. Theoretical predictions were compared to experimental data to prove the validity of this model, the error range for which ranged from 0.32% to 8.49%. Especially, under $700W/m^2$, the error rate was as low as 2.25%. This work could provide theoretical and experimental bases for application to a distributed and microgrid network.

Using both EVA and POE encapsulants, we fabricated polycrystalline Si PV modules and performed a set of reliability tests of PID, DH, TC, and Complex prior to outdoor installation. The power output with temperatures and insolation as well as I-V characteristics had been monitored under outdoor environments for 18 months. In the entire period, the total power of 3,576 kWh from POE PV modules was observed larger than 3,449 kWh from EVA PV modules by 3.5%. All the PV modules showed a 5.6~9.2% drop in the conversion efficiency. As for the solar power generation, the PV modules performed through PID, TC test revealed distinct difference in between EVA and POE for which the POE PV module produced more power by +11.4% and +6.6%, respectively, as measured in the 18th month. In addition, POE was proved to protect better the solar cells under PID influence.

본 논문은 새로운 태양광 에너지 변환 기술에 의한 연계형 단상 인버터 제어기술을 나타내었다. 최대전력 점 추적제어는 두 부스터 컨버터의 MOSFET 스위치 제어 발생회로에 기초하고 단상 인버터는 풀 브리지의 4개 IGBT 스위치에 의해 전류 추종제어 된다. PV 모듈의 발생전력 제어회로는 PV 모듈의 출력 전압, 전류 검출에 의해 최대전력 점 제어한다. 결국 PV 모듈 양단은 인버터 입력전압으로 낮은 리플 전압을 유지하고 출력은 증가한다. 제안한 태양광 인버터 시스템의 효과가 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 입증되었다.

Operation modes and control strategies for single-phase mobility charging station utilizing photovoltaic (PV) generation and energy storage systems (ESS) are proposed. This approach generates electric power from PV to transmit the mobility, ESS, and then transfer it to the grid when surplus electric power is generated during daytime. However, the PV power cannot be generated during night-time, and ESS and the mobility system can be charged using grid power. The power balance control based on power fluctuations and the resonant current control that can compensate harmonic components have been added to increase the stability of the system. The MATLAB/Simulink simulation was carried out to verify the proposed control method, and the 2-kW single-phase grid-tied PV-ESS smart mobility charger was built and tested.

등부표의 등명기에 안정적으로 전력을 공급하는 것은 매우 중요하며 전력공급이 안정적이지 못하면 해난 사고를 발생시킨다. 태양광 발전 환경은 해상에서 큰 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, 등부표의 태양광 발전 시스템은 육상의 독립 발전 시스템의 설계 기준에 따라 설계되고 있다. 또한 등부표가 갖는 구조적인 특성을 반영하지 않고 태양광 발전 설비의 용량을 설계하고 있다. 그러므로 해상 환경에 맞지 않는 잘못되 설계로 인하여 발전량이 부족하게 되어 축전지가 과방전하게 된다. 축전지가 과방전하면 등명기에 안정적인 전력을 공급하지 못한다. 본 논문은 태양광 기반의 등부표의 설계 기준을 나타내었다. 3개월 동안 등부표 전력 시스템의 태양광 발전 전력, 소비 전려, 축전지 전압을 측정하였다. 또한 수집한 자료를 바탕으로 해상 등부표 전력운용을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 육상 설계 기준의 태양광 발전 전력과 등부표의 실제태양과 발전 전력이 다르다는 것을 확인하였다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로 등부표의 전력 시스템 설계 기준을 제안한다.

There are many factors that affect on the system output of Photovoltaic(PV) power generation; the variation of solar radiation, temperature, energy conversion efficiency of solar cell etc. This paper suggests a methodology for calculation of PV generation output using the probability distribution function of irradiance, PV array efficiency and revision factors of solar cell conversion efficiency. Long-term irradiance data recorded every hour of the day for 11 years were used. For goodness-fit test, several distribution (unctions are tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov(K-S) method. The calculated generation output with or without revision factors of conversion efficiency is compared with that of CMS (Centered Monitoring System), which can monitor PV generation output of each PV generation site.

The occurrence of algae caused by eutrophication of fresh water is a pollution source to destroy the aquatic environment. When the high voltage electric field is applied in the water, When a high voltage is applied to the electric field in the water, the algae can be broken the balance of cell membranes, and is dead. In this paper, we develop a water quality improvement system for generating an electric field having a higher energy than the zeta potential when a high voltage is applied to 4,000V. To ensure the mobility of the water quality improvement system, we designed the PV generation system using the optimal size technique that is based on the model of power lack ratio. By evaluating the output characteristics of the water quality improvement system, power generation characteristics of the PV generation system, and battery charging characteristics, we can show that the proposed system can be applicable to the water quality improvement system inhibiting the growth rate of the algae in the fresh water.
